Pregnancy Pictures

So I was wondering when we should have our pregnancy photos done.  I'm 26 weeks now and showing but I'd like to be showing more.  However, I don't want to be bloated and swollen either!!  Any ideas??

    If you contact a photographer, they will probably have their own recommendation on when the pics should be done. I think many do them around 32-34 weeks.

    I have a maternity and newborn photography business and recommend photos be done in the 8th month .. that way your belly is nice and round but you're not too uncomfortable yet so that you can't move around for different poses. Hope that helps :)

    With my 1st, I did them around 32wks and it was really good timing.  I was definitely big, but wasn't miserable yet.  Here's a sample:

    We had ours done when I was 32 weeks...I was still comfortable and had a nice, roound stomach at the time.

    Certain photographers like to photograph women at different time, and obviously every woman and pregnancy is different, so I would recommend speaking to your photographer and determining the best time together.

    Personally I usually tell my clients between 30 - 34 weeks, or if they want to be really full in the images then wait till 36. My personal idea of the perfect time is week 32. Usually still comfortable to move, great curves and typically they aren't swollen yet.

    This. Ideally 32-36 weeks is the best IMO. You are big, beautiful and not quite at the very uncomfortable stage.  You want to have a big belly in the pics.
